Bars better on Cannon
Seat better on Cannon
Brakes better on Cannon

Gearing better on Carrera
Gear change better on Carrera
Ride better on Carrera

What do I need to do to make the Grand bike as nice as the couple hundred quid bike?

lets deal with Alex first Trev
AL if your a 31" waist im surprised. Im a 30" and can sometimes get in a 28". You will be a medium
Yes you can get in a small bibshort but they may be tight on your legs a bit. Get a medium and 35miles in your ride you wont be riding no hands trying to re adjust your meat and two veg. There sorted.

trevor whats happening with your gears
and why is the ride better my friend. dont worry these things are easily sorted.
